Crochet & Books

February Read #crochetandbooks #bookofthemonth #bookishvibes

2/14 Edited to

As an avid fan of combining hobbies, I've found that pairing crochet with a compelling read like "Love From Harlem" by Reshonda Tate truly enhances my relaxation time. The rhythmic motions of crocheting complement the immersive storytelling, creating a perfect ambiance for unwinding. The book, set in Harlem, offers rich narratives that keep me hooked while my hands work on creating beautiful patterns. I usually set a chapter duration—like 5 hours and 44 minutes as logged during my reading sessions—to balance focus between the book and my crochet projects. This practice not only allows me to enjoy the storyline but also motivates me to complete my crochet chapters within those periods. Incorporating bookish journals alongside is an added bonus. I love jotting down thoughts about the plot or ideas for upcoming crochet designs inspired by the book’s themes. This creative blend has enhanced my appreciation for both arts and made my weekly scheduling more enjoyable. I recommend trying this dual approach to anyone looking to boost their leisure moments with meaningful productivity and cultural engagement.

Things I want to crochet

I’m a beginner in crocheting and have only been crocheting since May. I absolutely love it and so far have only been crocheting small items: mats, bows, deco pieces, and most recently blankets and a beanie. I’m still figuring it out but these are some things I’d love to be able to make one day.
